Literary Heroes

Nottinghamshire is renowned for producing some of the finest wordsmiths to ever put pen to paper or quill to parchment. Whether it's the sometimes-controversial tales of D.H. Lawrence or the romantic poems of Lord Byron, through to tales of local life and the harsh realities of the 20th century from Alan Sillitoe - Nottinghamshire has in fact brought forth some of the most innovative story tellers known to the world over history.

In 2015 Nottingham secured its place as a UNESCO City of Literature, so there's even more reason to become lost in the musings of our local writers; past and present. Nottingham is one of only 20 cities around the world recognised by UNESCO for literary excellence.
